"Save $44 on Used: Like New PlayStation Portal - Amazon Exclusive"

The PlayStation Portal has never been discounted, but savvy gamers can now snag a deal on a used one. Amazon Resale, formerly known as Amazon Warehouse, currently offers the PlayStation Portal in Used: Like New condition for just $156.02, including shipping. This represents a significant 20% discount off the original $199 price tag. While the inclusion of a Sony warranty is uncertain, Amazon Resale items come with the same reassuring 30-day return policy as new products. Given the popularity, we anticipate these units will sell out quickly.

This item looks and functions as if it were brand new, with only moderate packing damage noted during inspection.

The PS Portal, Sony's innovative handheld gaming accessory for the PS5, resembles an extended split-pad DualSense controller with an 8-inch 1080p LCD screen at its center. It transforms your PS5 into a portable gaming device by streaming games at up to 60fps. The controller replicates the DualSense's features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a touchscreen that substitutes the traditional touchpad. While the Portal allows you to play outside your home, it requires a **very stable, very fast** internet connection. Note that the PS Portal is not a standalone device; it's strictly a remote player for the PlayStation 5, necessitating a PS5 for use.

Update: You no longer need a PS5 to enjoy games on the PS Portal. Sony has rolled out a feature enabling owners to stream games directly from its PlayStation Now cloud streaming service, bypassing the need for a PS5. Now, Portal owners can choose to connect either to their PS5 or to Sony’s cloud servers, unlocking access to over 120 games, including titles like Ghost of Tsushima, Resident Evil 3 Remake, The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered, and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Keep in mind, you'll need to subscribe to the highest tier of PlayStation Plus, which at $18 per month, is a more budget-friendly option than purchasing a PS5 and individual games.

It's worth mentioning that the PlayStation Portal isn't the only way to stream your PS5 games over Wi-Fi at home. You can achieve similar functionality by downloading the PS Remote Play app on a mobile device, including other gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck. However, setup can be more complex, and you'll miss out on some of the DualSense's unique features.

PlayStation Portal Review by Seth Macy

"The PlayStation Portal is the most surprising device I've ever come away from loving after going in loaded with skepticism. It's such a better experience than using your phone with a slap-on controller, and it works so much better than I was anticipating. I really love the freedom it gives me to play my PS5 from anywhere with decent WiFi coverage, especially when the rest of my family was using the TV to (somewhat ironically) play the Switch. Bearing in mind that it’s in no way a stand-alone device and 100% requires a PlayStation 5 to function at all, the biggest things keeping the Portal from being a truly amazing device are its current lack of a way to access WiFi that requires a web browser to log in, and its lack of Bluetooth support for audio. For now, it's a great device that represents the best current solution for PlayStation Remote Play, and if it weren't for those two baffling caveats, I'd call this a must-own device for every PS5 owner who enjoys playing games on handheld – or has to compete for the household TV."
